Look, programming is the art of expressing intent as best as 
possible.  The single semicolon variant is very clear from
a compiler point of view, but it is not clear from a human
point of view.

I always use the continue variant because I feel it expresses
intent better for two reasons:

The visual impact of a word is much bigger than that of a single
lightweight character.

Writing "continue" dispells any doubt if I did it intentionally.
